Network
- Quality Of Service (QoS) Traffic Prioritization: true (Allows a user to manage a device's network performance by configuring the types of traffic that receive top priority for transmission. High priority functions and applications receive maximum network performance, while low priority traffic receives minimum performance.)
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number of Antennas: 3
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: AC (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 1800 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: false (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Incredible router, and an installation tip...
I needed to replace my old Linksys that was six years old, and beginning to drop the 2.4 GHz channel at random times during the day. I picked this router due to the high ratings in Consumer Reports, plus my local Best Buy had it in stock. This is an outstanding router. VERY fast with a STRONG signal, and the Nighthawk phone app is amazing as well. But here's a VERY important installation tip. At first I couldn't get it to connect to my modem - no internet. All of my connected ethernet cables were recognized immediately, but the "Internet" LED kept blinking orange. I swapped out cables between the router and my modem, reset the modem, etc... I played with it for an hour and a half. Nothing worked. So I made a call to my provider, Xfinity tech support. An amazing tech at Xfinity (who just happened to have the same router) told me that I needed to change the default factory password (which was "password") before it would connect. Apparently that is a security concern with Netgear, but that step wasn't mentioned anywhere in the documentation, which was sparse to begin with. Once I did that, it came to life. This thing is incredible. I'm now getting speeds like never before, and the signal meter on my phone is a solid 100% around my house, even if I go out to the backyard. Last night I ran a speed test (over WiFi) on my Surface Pro, which is in my living room a floor below. It registered a blazing 200mbps over Wifi. (I'm on a 250mbps plan with Xfinity). That is just incredible for a WiFi signal. My old Linksys router never even got to 100mbps, even if I used the 5GHz band. It also comes with a feature called Smart Connect which automatically detects each device, and determines which ones should be connected to the 2.4GHz channel and which ones would be better on the 5GHz channel. I checked it after I enabled it, and sure enough it had moved a few devices around, like my DirecTV Genie II server, which can stream 4K content was now on the 5GHz. And this router has another amazing feature - it displayed a popup during setup that said that if I were to rename the wireless connections (2.4 & 5GHz channels) to the same names and passwords as the old router, it would make sure that I wouldn't need to reconfigure any of my devices. And I couldn't believe it, but it WORKED. I have probably three dozen or more wireless devices in my home - security cameras, smart plugs, smart watch, phone, laptops, my home thermostat, an Alexa Spot and several Echos, TV's, my DirecTV Genie server, Google Home Hub, and even my car is connected for Sync updates. I didn't have to reconfigure one single device in my house. Not one. Every one simply reconnected once I did the name and password change using the old credentials. That alone made this purchase all the better. I had expected to spend the afternoon going around and reconnecting everything after I made a list beforehand, which was 2 pages long.

A Huge Step Up!
I read a lot of reviews when it comes to spending my money on gadgets, especially routers that are expensive like this one. Let me just say that this is well worth the money! I have Cox as my internet provider and the default router/modem they gave me was absolute garbage. I could barely get Wifi throughout my apartment (only 1200 sq. ft.). However, I bought this router based on the great reviews and it impressed me. I was able not only to get WiFi anywhere in my house, I could get it a few houses down! I pay for extremely fast internet and with this router, it feels like I'm getting my money's worth. I used to game/stream a lot and the configuration settings helped me prioritize gaming and get the best connection possible. You can also prioritize streaming or other devices as well! The amount of features are great and I would definitely recommend this router to anyone looking to upgrade. IT IS WORTH THE MONEY!

Great Router
Was looking to replace my Netgear "N" router that was several years old with a new "AC" router to get better range and wireless speeds throughout our new house. Also picked up a couple of Netgear AC adapters for two of our wireless PC's. In a word...WOW! I should have upgraded a long time ago. Wireless speeds immediately tripled and the signal strength extends halfway down the street. Everything connected right away and the throughput is outstanding. Highly recommend this router. Only downside (but not a serious problem) is that it is BIG. I usually have the router on my desk in the room where the cable service enters the house, but this router has no vertical stand option and it's so big I had to mount it on the wall.
